Misri to brief Parl panel on Op Sindoor, Pak policy updates

Top government officials, including foreign secretary Vikram Misri, will brief a parliamentary panel on Monday on Operation Sindoor and other foreign policy developments involving Pakistan. This will be the first such briefing by government officials to a Parliamentary panel post Pahalgam attack.

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs, chaired by Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, has scheduled back-to-back meetings for two consecutive days starting Monday on the "current foreign policy developments regarding India and Pakistan".

The panel comprises many MPs who are part of the seven all-party delegation which will be travelling to 32 countries to project India's national consensus and approach to combating terrorism. Besides Tharoor, the other members in the 31-member panel include Ravishankar Prasad and Sudhanshu Trivedi (BJP), Deepender Hooda (Congress), Abhishek Banerjee (Trinamool Congress), Asaduddin Owaisi (AIMIM) and John Brittas (CPIM). The committee has called officials from the defence ministry to brief them, along with the External Affairs ministry officials, on the maritime security and India's maritime strategy.


Misri, along with Colonel Sofiya Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, had briefed the media after Operation Sindoor on May 7.
